Vera Goes To New York, New York (For The BlogHer Conference)

It's that time again!!! As you read this, I might already be in New York for the BlogHer (BlogHer15) Blog Conference. Last year was my first time, and I'm going again this year. This year, though, is already different from last year. For starters, I'm not as clueless as I was last year. Secondly, this feels like I'm going on a vacation where I get to work at the same time. Honestly, I regret that I don't have a close blogger friend to tag along for these things. Solachi, Uju, and Funmie have Read More

What To Pack For A Blog Conference

If it sounds like you already read this post, you're right. I blogged about this last year after I attended the BlogHer conference in San Jose, California, but this is an updated version. I don't know if you remember, but before I left, I did not know what to expect. Now that I've attended one conference, I'm not a pro, but I'm certainly not a novice. Well, not as big as last year at least. My hope is to attend more of these conferences. By the way, before you get to the end of this post, you Read More

No, but it happened anyway, and I enjoyed every bit of it. After he left, we still had about 45 minutes to network and chat among each other. I was sitting and chatting with a blogger with whom I had made an acquaintance the day before. And Read More

10 Lessons I Learned From Arianna Huffington At The BlogHer Conference

Before I knew anything about who would be at BlogHer, I had already made the decision to attend it. But when I found out that Arianna Huffington would be there, I couldn't wait to attend. On stage, she was interviewed by Guy Kawasaki who is very popular. I didn't know him then, but I certainly know him now. Arianna was unexpectedly funny. I don't know what I expected, but I know I did not expect that. Like Guy had already warned us, when you ask Arianna a question, she tells you what she Read More

About Last Weekend: My Complete BlogHer Conference Recap

The title of this post is slightly misleading because this post is in fact not my complete BlogHer Conference recap. My recap is entirely too long to put in one post, and because I imagine that you are like me, I do not burden you with extremely long posts because when I open a post with 100 paragraphs, I freak out and close the page. This one, therefore, will only have 99 paragraphs. As I mentioned in my previous post, this BlogHer conference was my first blogging conference of any kind, and Read More
